About

    Convective-permitting modeling refers to a type of numerical weather model that explicitly resolves small-scale convective processes, such as thunderstorms, at a high spatial resolution. These models are able to simulate the development, evolution, and movement of convective storms in more detail compared to traditional models that parameterize convective processes. Convective-permitting models are often used in research and forecasting to improve the accuracy of short-term weather predictions, particularly for severe weather events. By capturing the intricate dynamics of convective storms, these models can provide valuable insights for understanding and predicting weather phenomena.
